Something for EVERYONE to think about

I felt like procrastinating last weekend, and I didn't do a drop of studying for the MCATs. Instead, I decided to watch all of Season 5 of LOST in 2 days, and I am extremely glad and satisfied that I did this. But here is one issue that the show raised that got me thinking. If you had the chance to go back and reverse/change time, would you do it? Would you take the opportunity to go back in the past and change some of the actions that you've done, which could consequently change the outcome of your present and future time? why? This question has been sitting at the back of my mind all week, and I still cannot really formulate a concrete answer, but just wanted to throw that question out there. Hope your summer has been going well so far!

mayyyyybe. But nothing major, I don't think. But how about little things like (school) test results? :)

Would you believe I think about this all the time? Up until recently, I never wanted to change a thing in my life. After college, I wish I did more of what I wanted to do in high school. We were always so focused on where we were trying to go we never enjoyed where we were. We took AP courses for the credit not for the interest or joy of the subject. Need I say EHAP? How many of you really appreciated the class? I wish I had hung out with my family more. I wish I had done more things with video games like BETA testing. Unlike LOST, we can't go back, so we can only live and learn.

sorry to burst your bubble, but I actually enjoyed EHAP. I love history, and if I didn't love money more, would probably have considered majoring in it.
On the other hand, the same cannot be said for some of my other APs :)

Well, I was merely saying that because some people immediately forgot everything they learned from that class. I forgot who I was talking to from EHAP class, but it was amazing how much they didn't remember. It made me sad because they outscored me on the test, but I know more than them now. Tests are kinda bullshit that way.
